How is a sinner born again? Does the sinner contribute anything to his own regeneration, or is the new birth a work of God alone? The author answers these questions and more in this study of an important Bible theme.

Unlike the other three Gospels, John is primarily theological, not synoptic. John's purpose is to prove that Jesus is the Son of God, coeternal, coessential and coequal with the Father. The preponderance of evidence John cites for the deity of Jesus Christ is so conclusive that those who stridently oppose the facts, like the religious leaders of Jesus' day, reveal a level of moral antagonism that merits condemnation. Only grace can conquer such animosity of heart and enable the mind to consider the gospel message. That is the message of the Gospel of John.

Where may we go to find answers to questions concerning how a church is supposed to function, the qualifications of church officers, the priorities of pastoral ministry, the role of females in the church, the importance of the Christian home, and the biblical pattern of church government? The New Testament canon contains three personal letters penned by the apostle Paul addressing these and many more questions. The Pastoral Epistles to Timothy and Titus contain pastoral and ecclesiastical counsel for the church in all ages.

First Timothy and Titus were likely composed during the same time period, from Macedonia. Second Timothy was written from the Mamertine prison in Rome, shortly before Paul's death. The tone of these three epistles is more personal than Paul's other letters.

Great encouragement and guidance for gospel ministers is here. And, for the church that seeks to conform to Scripture more than cultural trends, the Pastoral Epistles contain indispensible wisdom.

The Glorious Simplicity of Biblical Eschatology

The Christian gospel is good news precisely because it proclaims Christ's victory over death. A resurrection motif runs through every part of the apostolic gospel, like a golden thread that ties a garment together. As he works his way through the primary "resurrection" passages in God's word, Joe Holder explains how the literal, historical fact of Christ's resurrection underpins not only the Biblical doctrine of salvation, but also the doctrine of the end-times, as well as its teaching on Christian ethics. In a word, Biblical eschatology does not have to be as complicated as some teachers make it. Biblical teaching on the end-times, in fact, is marked by a refreshing simplicity, by virtue of the centrality of the bodily resurrection of the dead. The good news of the gospel is "Because He lives, we shall live also!

What is your name? It is the first question one person asks another upon first meeting. Once names are revealed, the two parties are well on the way to the formation of some form of social relationship.

Unlike our modern world, a name in Bible times was not a mere label, but a profile of character. This is especially the case in terms of God's self-disclosure in the unfolding pages of the Old Testament. The progressive revelation of God's name to the Hebrew people is a veritable theology, or study of the attributes of God.

In this book, Michael Gowens examines the meaning and significance of the primary names of God - Elohim, Jehovah, & Adonai - together with several of the more salient compound names of each: El-Shaddai, El-Roi, El-Elyon, Jehovah-Jireh, Jehovah-Rophe, and more. Study along with him and experience how the revelation of God's name in the Bible is a firm foundation on which to cultivate a closer fellowship with him.

Here is a virtual "Primitive Baptist primer." The Bible Study Notebook offers a systematic explanation of key Bible doctrines and practices as believed by the Primitive Baptists. Elder Johnson has been compiling these articles over the span of many years, and has provided copies of this Bible Study Notebook to any serious student of the scripture he encounters. By God's providence, this study guide has been used by many who were "asking the way to Zion," both in the United States and abroad. Many churches and fellowships in Africa have used this resource as a foundation for their studies in practical godliness, truth, and doctrine.
